Major League Baseball released the 2020 schedule on Monday, and while the 60-game season is different than anything we’ve seen in baseball history, in a lot of ways, it is a very familiar schedule. Baseball will stick with conventional two-, three-, and four-game series, with 30 home dates and 30 road dates, and most Royals games will be against familiar American League Central Division foes.
You can see the full schedule here, but here are a few takeaways from this year’s Royals schedule.
The schedule is probably not as easy as you think
The Royals will only play teams in the American League Central and National League Central divisions to cut down on travel, and the assumption was that this would give them an easier schedule since they will get so many games against the Tigers and White Sox.
